takes into account genes, early experiences and learning and suggests developmental issues can lead to certain patterns of thinking

39

what did the cog explanation lead to? (S)

A

the creation of CBT treatment which has been found as effective in treating depression such as NICE, therefore has been useful to society and adds to validity

40
Q

how is the explanation valid?(S)

creation of CBT

41
Q

what did lewinsohn find?(S)

researched depression and found that when stressed, dysfunctional attitudes rather than environmental factors was the strongest predictor of adolescent major depressive disorder (shows how negative thinking is biggest contributor)

42
Q

what did hollon find?(S)

A

reported on many attempts to evaluate CBT and found that it performed well in controlled trials. It appears that CBT helps for at least as long as drug treatment, suggesting that addressing negative thought processes must be involved in depression in order for CBT to work

43
Q

what does the explanation fail to explain?

A

gender bias and why women suffer more frequently than men, no evidence that men have more negative schemas

44
Q

what is the issue of cause and affect?(W)

A

there is not evidence that negative thoughts cause depression rather than simply being present in the disorder, negative thinking seems to stop when depression does, suggesting that it comes with depression but is not the cause of it
